Because I think such comparisons lack meaning in a strict sense (really, what is it to say that a given superpower is more "murderous" than a terrorist collective?), and, on their own, prescribe nothing.
As you know, I think police investigation alone into the doings of Al Qaeda would've done next to nothing to diminish the threat they once posed.
